Ash and Michelle are just right for each other. You'll be seeing a lot of them on my blog. They're just such cooperative models.
And in TWO days, they're getting hitched! I can't be there since it's at the beach and two of our best friends are getting married here on the same day. I can't wait to see their wedding pictures.
I have to give Michelle credit for editing this one. She will have to come to work for me when I get my own studio someday.
a cute couple
entertaining ourselves.
We've been doing a pretty great job of keeping ourselves entertained and pretty relaxed around here. I'm really enjoying these days where we can be lazy. The kids have kept busy with puzzles and games. Catching frogs and letting them go only to realize this means we are in a constant search for the next one. There's been lots of swinging and a little swimming. They even put on a magic show for us the other night. Of course, right now they're in their rooms because they were throwing rocks into the air-conditioner unit........
And we've been watching a movie on TV almost everyday. Is there such thing as 'popcorn poisoning'?
Jacob...in a mailbox...box...
We're not the only ones having fun. Austin... a great host!
I'll post some more pool-pictures soon.
Father's day
We started our Father's day celebration on Saturday with a fabulous dinner at my sister's house.
Here's my niece, Breanna. Doesn't she just look like the best videographer?!
We played lots of games. (I was usually on the winning team;)
Then on Sunday, we helped celebrate with Nathan's family by eating all day long.
(thanks Rachel for taking this one)
This picture was actually taken at Christmas, but I thought it was appropriate. 
Happy birthday, Oscar!
The kids wouldn't let it go. We had to celebrate Oscar's 1st birthday. So, we invited Anna and her dogs over for snacks and treats.
Oscar didn't like his hat
Baxter just came for the free food.
Emma got a little upset that our guest dogs didn't take their goodie bags home with them....well it was just a big bone but still....
Melanie and Brian
One of our best friends got married this last weekend. Isn't she beautiful!
(mel listening for her cue)
This is really a "Mel look"....
This is our group before the festivities. (thanks Diana for this picture)
And this is our group after all the dancing. (Thanks Gloria for taking this picture!)
cutie booty
I may be jumping the gun considering Jacob has only been out of school since Wednesday, but I'm loving summer. I'm so relieved that I don't have to put on make-up (or a bra) at 6:30 every morning! 
When trying to get the kids to pose for a good picture, I tell them that we'll do just a couple of 'normal' ones and then some silly ones. I love that sticking their butts in the air is almost always how they decide to end the shoot. 
summer lovin'
Jacob has discovered baseball....and that's all we have lived and breathed for the past couple of days.
Emma had a little trouble being a good sport when Jacob tagged her with the ball. 
...but in the end, we all got along and had a lot of fun. happy summer!
a little trip
We took a trip this weekend to Ohio and stopped for the night in St. Louis.
The hotel claimed we would have a beautiful view of the Arch.
This was our view.....
So we went to the Landing for dinner and sightseeing. 
Nathan took these next two shots.
Seth won some money at Black Jack, and he treated us to a late-night cab ride through the drive-through of White Castle.
Thanks Seth.....I think.
After a great night's sleep, we finished our drive to Ohio. There was so much beautiful scenery!
Nathan took this one too.
a great dinner (photo by Jamie)
...and my first Catholic Mass.
I'm glad to be home, and I'm sorry that Grandma is gone. But I am so thankful for this little get-away where we met some wonderful family members......
and a chicken.
